## Usage with Coder

Coder provides sample
[Docker](https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/examples/templates/devcontainer-docker)
and
[Kubernetes](https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/examples/templates/devcontainer-kubernetes)
for use with Envbuilder. You can import these template and modify them to fit
your specific requirements.

Below are some specific points to be aware of when using Envbuilder with a Coder
deployment:

- The `ENVBUILDER_INIT_SCRIPT` should execute `coder_agent.main.init_script` in
order for you to be able to connect to your workspace.
- In order for the Agent init script to be able to fetch the agent binary from
your Coder deployment, the resulting Devcontainer must contain a download tool
such as `curl`, `wget`, or `busybox`.

Side-note: We should allow envbuilder to be this tool 💡

- `CODER_AGENT_TOKEN` should be included in the environment variables for the
Envbuilder container. You can also set `CODER_AGENT_URL` if required.
